Back to the Banana Stand

It was on this day in 2003 that one of the funniest TV comedies of all time first aired. I am talking about Arrested Development. This continues to be one of the few shows that makes me laugh out loud. I have seen the first three seasons more times than I can count, but the laughs remain.

Back in 2022, I was invited to participate in a TV Show Draft. It was run like a fantasy sport draft with each participant choosing a show one by one. The show was one of my picks and I wrote at length about it. Rather than rehashing all of that here, I will share the link for you.

As I mention in the 2022 blog, the show is considered a “cult classic.” Fans of the show appreciate a good running gag, dysfunctional family humor, distinct personalities of each character, and laughing out loud.

Maybe I need to go back and watch the latter seasons, because it has been some time. Maybe I will find them better than I did after the first watch. Either way, the three core seasons that aired on Fox remain as fresh and funny as they did in 2003.
